Image auto-resize in Ultra-MGoBoard is live.
Small update this morning that gives you the option to have all images that are too wide for their container to be automatically resized. This should prevent images from flooding over into the MGoBoard list, and other lists, on the right side of the page if they're huge.
I'll be working on getting it togglable (not sure that's a word) so that you can have the convenience of reasonable sized images with the ability to blow them up as big as you want.
Once again, the link to the extension is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/plgbhpppodkjceilgjeepcjbjdamknld
Previous information about what else it can do is here: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/ultra-mgoboard-v15. My apologies for the gigantic Denard picture, I was using it to test the current version. (However, if you install it, Denard will be brought down to a more manageable size.)

this was posted on Friday. late to the game man... if it was posted on ESPN, you need to expect it's already on here.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:24 AM ^
what the fuck?
January 17th, 2011 at 11:25 AM ^
sarcastic jokes that go so far as to claim a plugin has already been posted on ESPN aren't even being detected? what has this coaching change done?
WHEN RR WAS THE COACH U COOD TELL WHEN SOME1 WAS JOKING!!1! UNAcCEPTABLE
January 17th, 2011 at 11:27 AM ^
I still don't get it.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:28 AM ^
One of GB's less funny jokes
January 17th, 2011 at 11:32 AM ^
but wait until 3 o'clock. somebody's going to ask if you sent that fax yet and you're going to say "repost! al from accounting asked me that 2 hours ago" and then you'll be like "oh i get it. that GB fogger of mothers!"
January 17th, 2011 at 11:34 AM ^
Al retired three years ago. Keep up.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:36 AM ^
that explains why all the plants are dead. somebody update the office chores schedule.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:29 AM ^
Wasn't the original reply different?
January 17th, 2011 at 11:30 AM ^
complaints/mockery of reposts are the new "RR needs to go."
Finkle is Einhorn.
come on man. stop trolling the people.com message board praising Sandra Bullock's new bangs (omg awful, what was she THINKING?!) and go all Playstation "step your game up" on this here board
January 17th, 2011 at 11:24 AM ^
Gotta be wrong thread?
January 17th, 2011 at 11:31 AM ^
I started adding posters to the highlight list and unless you type the name in verbatim, it won't highlight. I suggest doing a toLowerCase() on the names in the list and the names on the board so that if you don't capitalize a letter, it still highlights.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:49 AM ^
Great point. I'll give it a shot and let you know when it works.
EDIT: Done. I still wish there was a way to grab someone's actual username instead of just what's displayed. I hate that you have to add "Long user name ..." instead of "Long user name for the hell of it" if that's what's displayed, but I don't think the actual names are available in the DOM for me to just grab.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
Try looking at the url that clicking on the name takes you to. That contains the full name but modified a bit. I think all you have to do is replace spaces with hyphens and then do the two lower on both. It's worth a shot at least.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:22 PM ^
Yeah, I thought about that... I should check if there are restrictions on special characters, etc. I know you can put a period in your username since a few people have them, but if someone had a " or something, I don't know how it would react.
Edit: It conveniently tells me this on the profile edit page... Nothing but periods, spaces, hyphens, and underscores. I'll play around with it a little bit later today and see what I can do.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
You could also check for the ellipsis. If it's there then compare against the url, and if it's not then compare against the name listed on the page.
Another option is to compare against the name on the page, and if it doesn't match then compare to the name in the url.
Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure will be great.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:42 PM ^
Yep. Both good options. A couple things I'm a little worried about is names that are equivalent in terms of the displayed name ("This is a long username number 1" and "This is a long username number 2"), which your first solution would catch, and situations where the username URL has something appended to it. For example, it's possible that there could be urls /users/blockm and /users/blockm-0. I'm guessing it's because two usernames simplify to the same thing when creating urls so there needs to be a way to distinguish between the two.
From what I can tell, no method will be 100% functional, so I just need to think about which way will offer the most coverage without taking me forever to implement.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:48 AM ^
Would "run_at": "document_start" fix the now you see it, now you don't effect?
January 17th, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^
Possibly, let me check!
EDIT: Nope. That executes the scripts before the DOM is constructed, and I use the DOM for just about everything I do. I'll keep an eye out for a way to use the DOM before it's displayed.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:56 AM ^
Really like it
January 17th, 2011 at 12:30 PM ^
Is it because the link has the words "jeep cj bj" in it?
January 17th, 2011 at 4:21 PM ^
Not the CJ or BJ though....
Unfortunately jeep was smart enough never to make a "BJ" model, and I've only owned a YJ and a TJ, no CJ's for me
great catch
January 17th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^
an excellent addition.
Gracias.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:31 PM ^
This looks like a Chrome-specific plug-in...is that right?
Anything equivalent for FF users? Just asking....
January 17th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
It is. I don't have firefox installed, but I think something along the lines of this: http://techie-buzz.com/browsers/google-chrome-extensions-in-firefox.html would make it work. Let me know if it does so I can tell people that with confidence :)
January 17th, 2011 at 2:36 PM ^
Hmm, yeah. Javascript functions aren't always compatible with all browsers, so I'm guessing it's running into some issues with that. Thanks for trying it out though. I'll let everyone know if I ever get it to work in firefox at some point, but don't hold your breath. :)
January 17th, 2011 at 2:55 PM ^
Not a problem. I had a few minutes of free time at work, so I figured I may as well check it out.
January 17th, 2011 at 3:03 PM ^
I couldn't get the FF extension loaded..."download error" from the source site...
January 17th, 2011 at 3:19 PM ^
Yeah, looking at the comments on that site it's very buggy yet, so firefox users may just be out of luck...
January 17th, 2011 at 12:37 PM ^
January 17th, 2011 at 12:44 PM ^
Hah, sorry to cause you such inner turmoil. If the chrome extensions manager for firefox works, that might be a way to regain balance in your life, but as I said, I haven't tested it. Next time my roommate has his computer around I'll give it a shot.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
January 17th, 2011 at 4:07 PM ^
Is there an ability in chrome to better utilize the full width of the screen in Chrome? I had a template in Firefox that allowed for content of the page to fill the full width of the screen, but I haven't come across a similar capability in Chrome.
January 17th, 2011 at 4:16 PM ^
Great question. I'm sure there's a way, not sure how tricky it would be. I'll take a look.
January 17th, 2011 at 5:20 PM ^
It looks like you can change the style for #container, #inside-content, and #mainContainer to use left and right instead of width, which would allow you to have the content resize with the page.
January 17th, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
That appears to be the case. I'm horrible with that type of thing, and I don't really feel like spending a ton of time adjusting things until they look just right. If you're so inclined and can tell me what CSS values need to be changed to what, I'll gladly put them in.
January 17th, 2011 at 4:17 PM ^
For MGoBlog, I use the Stylish extension and a modified version of the firefox script: Here is the code: (The formatting of the code didn't paste correctly, I'm not sure whether that matters or not)
#banner, #container, #headercontainer, #header-region-container, #footer-region-container, #suckerfish-container { width: 1300px !important ; } #page-right, #round-right { width: 1299px !important; } #page-left, #round-right {width:1299px !important;} #sidebar-left { width 380px !important; } #sidebar-right { width: 210px !important; } #sidebar-outside { width: 0px !important; } #inside-content { width: 1299px !important; } body { font-family : Liberation Sans, sans-serif !important; font-size : 16px !important; } .indented{ margin-left:50px !important; } .title{ font-family : Georgia, serif !important; font-size : 20px !important; } #mainContent { width: 900px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; } #round-container { width: 1300px !important; }
And I set "Applies to" to URLs starting with "http://mgoblog.com
